If you've done so much to your car already, then yeah go ahead and do the conversion. If not, then get the 02-03 and swap parts with your current 2G.

the only reason a conversion would be worth it, if at all.. is if you dropped massive money into your 99-01 prior to doing the front end swap. to save you from starting over on all of your hard work and man hours redoing the 02-03

they both have their strengths and weaknesses. just gotta find what works best for it...

paying for newer car > paying for older car to look like the newer car.

with a slight few exceptions...
